subject: E Cigarettes Are The Only Real Smoking Alternative Available [print this page] Over the centuries people have smoked tobacco in different ways to try and obtain the satisfaction they want to get from it. They have put it in water pipes, corn cob pipes, clay pipes and even roll it up in paper to be able to get the nicotine that they crave. The only problem with all of these methods is that they require the real plant material to be burned in order to get the nicotine. Most people that smoke tobacco do enjoy the feeling of the smoke as it fills their lungs, but that causes some real concerns because the smoke itself is toxic and when the plant material is burned is causes tar.
What makes tobacco smoking even worse today is the fact that so many chemicals are added to the tobacco to help maintain freshness, promote better plants and a number of other things that people really do not understand. For centuries people smoked tobacco without additives, but it is almost impossible to get tobacco that does not have a chemical content. There has never been a viable way to get the nicotine from the tobacco without smoking, that is, until today.
E cigarettes have been around for quite a few years and truth be told, the first ones available did not work that great. However, the electronic cigarettes that are manufactured today work amazingly well and are so very similar to smoking a real tobacco cigarette. The plus side of them is that they contain no tobacco plant material that has to be burned in order to get the nicotine and the flavor and feeling of smoke.
Electric cigarettes operate using a rechargeable battery, a small heating element called an atomizer, and a plastic filter that is filled with a nicotine solution. It is puffed and drawn on by the user in the same way they would smoke a tobacco cigarette, only there is no lighting with fire. This means there is no real toxic smoke and no tar is created. Although there is a small chemical element with the nicotine solution, it is practically nothing when compared to the chemicals that are in tobacco plant material by the time it is made into a cigarette. A person can use the e cigarette and feel a lot better about what is not going into their body each time they use it. It costs a lot less to use an electronic cigarette as well and those who use them do not seem to mind that fact either.
